danco Jersey Bill about like I said is water great things going please look over those questions for any of them while they're here I just like to say that I breathe I think I think things are going well for you guys I appreciate that I did have a question on the Phillies won what is the vulnerability of the governor gave awarded or maybe announcement or the school when caveats beginning that is you have to have us Google Mobility assessment has to be done by an outside agency and so we there is one that they did prior to the construction back in 2016. that one so we actually get on the list right away I don't know I just I just submit a request for any of that money until they will highlight areas right so they made to our doors and say will approve the money to be used for door I can't just decide like wow I'd like a new sprinkler system if that's not on Japanese building and I'm coming up in October early October so the good news is that bad then we'll be able to put in a requisition or where do we want to try to or we can address some of those areas and Beyond the discussion items Elementary parent teacher organization Samantha and yes we have some guest speakers and they're going to talk about the elementary parent teacher organization and instead of me trying to put it in summarize it in your notes I just decided they would be better to prevent this then that means you're welcome Samantha how do you say your last name I am a parent to three kids and two of them in the last few years been involved in the Monroe Elementary this last year I was the vice president and what we'll do it today I'm still Eliezer I am the current co-president I was by present we're about half the year last year I freaking the district 2nd grader into kindergarteners do summary of Snowden said it happened I was paid through the summer as we all watch the progression of the vision team and the results of that came for school over the summer there was a lot of conversation in question from parents and teachers of what does it look like for a ptas and PTs up to this point we have been just like the school's two organizations sometimes doing the same things a lot X not financially we are separate after structures are separate volunteer structure everything is two separate organizations such as we have conversations this summer we started to think about what would that look like how would that be from zircons how would that benefit kids how would that benefit teachers to officer groups for on each side we met before school started for about two and a half hours one night and mailed out every detail from our bank store financing for events to our volunteers we went through everything of what does the current state look like compared to what could a future State look like together we left that meeting even talking about a new name how that stuff so with that conversation as a PCA we are part of an organization or sorry in association a bigger Association and organization our first thought was to dissolve as a PCA and become one PCL knowing that we already had a PTO structure in the district through the elementary they already have the name established the bank account established proposed two more absorb as one and change our current names as a peach arrive and start fresh with this new bank account new EIN number all of that information we could change it into something new with what week Christian Elementary PTO you're going to discuss the possibility of these two teams in our game Andy Greenwald on the leadership team Tri-City Elementary and one that didn't have a kid in Monroe anymore and so the more and more we talked in the more we talked with our groups individually we came to a consensus that it would make the most sense to move Barbie you officially we were going to change our name they were going to dissolve their PTA status we were going to absorb Monroe as a school within our organizational area for the boats will be adequately represented within our leadership team so they voted to essentially dissolve and move forward with joining us we voted to change our name to the Prairie City Monroe Elementary parent teacher organization is basically allow that to happen and we are moving forward with all of our business business and to be filing and all of that stuff at this point between our two current location does every other month same time same place and we will be voting to basically change our leadership team so that half of the team is represented by the roadside half of it's probably going to be our goal is not necessarily. because one of the things we discussed is the end up being a president place and then to ex-presidents one umbrella current Monroe Karen of current city Karen and then we don't really care what you and then you're on your way or every other your basis depending on how long that person is going to start so we are building that structure in at our next meeting which will officially allowed to change our signees change our filing for the last time and it made more sense for us to absorb and RSD as is so that we wouldn't have to go through the paperwork and everything to basically get our nonprofit status for a whole new organization together that's kind of where we are meeting that are currently born and it was discussed among the leadership before we are going to be I will be a vice president vice president at Monroe so near president or the Monroe side moving forward and working will continue to be the treasurer recap of just the value that we saw the biggest takeaways were historically a handful of moms find themselves to the count day in and day out doing all the events this may be the same seven women over and over and over and over and over all year long until they were finally done and then someone else comes to the same thing being able to combine our volunteer groups find our finances even consolidate our event running two huge events at two different times during the same thing we cannot make that one big event certain to the kids are the future family fun night one of our biggest events of the year in one location that housed all them and then we have parents even comparing them of how they differ this one better than the other we can go away from that so as far as the future what we saw as being probably the best that we don't know if y'all ementary the right b a lifespan of our children being there or not but we can also parents that start in Monroe I know that even when their kid moves to 4th and 5th grade they can still be part of the same and so as far as I can go over any transition their students are provided for employee in our communities are already done for our forward with a fun run which was coming at the end of the month I'd almost you would have people sign up from school so it's a nice thing and everybody feel adequately represented between artwork and both of our organizations have been very positive thank you guys another example next. Pittsburgh horns room if you're going to do a little FAQ that promise we're going to get you it won't be long are you falling asleep back there to see if they know how to use we're going to walk down to her room. that was nice 11 that one's the bounced check stop this music bring the bouncy chair when I get back bus driver shortage an item everywhere across the state country actually struggling with bus driver shortage part of the problem is the changes in the requirements to getting fully license has become increasingly difficult and those changes have been made at the federal level so it's not something in the state level we're trying a number of different things went through people are stupid licensure Tucker is working really hard on getting approved as a trainer the reason that this will be such a good thing for us if he does not want to train and change anyone interested would have to go to DMACC for a class if Tucker can get approved he will be able to provide that training here I've even had a number of superintendents and said if you're good I'll let me know and I'll send bear drivers to our training program it's not easy to make money or to advertise that really isn't the attention we just want to make it easier for people that would be interested in meeting up for funds for our current staff go through the full start of Education the reason we decided to do that is because if we had an emergency I would not have enough drivers to evacuate the building to the safe space come in and get them it would be nice to have staff within our school building be able to hop in the bus and drive the bus and take his right now I think we maybe have two people interested so it isn't like it's going to cost us a lot it's not real a big incentive the training is not hard it just takes studying it takes time to go through it so I just want to see her ideas do we look at an incentive for people Outsiders is there anything else that we should be considering to for people to consider be a full-time driver I don't see Alex Montano I'm just saving process so alone B people would be interested in our time can you give me the scheduling line Beacon Train Station train Google now he can have drivers go on to vector if he has if he can do the training he can have them go into vector and there are 26 modules they have to watch on there which again they're not hard they're just you just have to sit there and watch him and you want and then you also have to do the training through the online Vmax training with just so many modules and then you have to take a test at the end of it so it's just study Milano question becomes combining it with something to make it a full-time job and I've already started and I don't care you still here we've already started to look at my name is sodium nutrition staff because it's the middle of the day Opera has to sign on driving training in Ebensburg I don't know. Tell him I'm Drive I'm Still Into You but that's where we're at so I do appreciate your ideas I'm just this is just information along with the transition I Aaron and I went digging up the business procedure handbook and it was last updated in 2018 so I've been spending a little time visiting with other school districts looking at policies have reviewed it with Secretary of the administrators the directors are not going to read over the entire thing with you but I shared here immediately to have knowledge of it changes but I did make it seems in the last what's the traffic here I've only seen people just order when they want to order and we're putting in Amazon orders couple times a day from some of that short up the credit card that really limited the number of cards we have in the district again all of that I do not because I ever ever thought anybody was misusing them at the building level it's just it makes a lot of paperwork on the backside of it and so we are only placing orders a couple times a month to Amazon people have to plan ahead and still be one in the district offices is there anything new a public purpose reminding her staff and then another area was the employee compensation for travel I just went back to review I'd only known that people ready to go to a meeting every just turn in the receipt but if you would go back and really review the policy that's not really supposed to be so adding that into our business I just want to share that with you that we are putting in place to make things right with her questions about that you've heard from Robert in the car which is the transportation report however on the State because they're having troubles extended the deadline for all districts so therefore I am expecting that we will we will not need that extension because we had to have everything done by the 29th without the extension with the Statewide extension so we have an extension if we can't meet the new deadline 7 we will have to go before the sprc and give them a corrective action plan but we already have it I would really I really do not want to have to do that so my hope is that we are ready to put down everything he's done just waiting on Robertson action items out of state hello I'm Jenny Peterson them on the new act teachers and so I have a few of the students and members b o i mean I'm a junior and I represent the chapter at the reporter so I run on social media and sometimes sporadically alright articles about her students but usually I don't do some pics and I don't have contact with one yet so I'm really behind and I'm a sophomore James Fairbanks and covid-19 or whatever I'm trying to Sloan I'm senior and I'm the Sentinel this year we wanted to start with the days until I go through each day at Nationals so we want to leave Tuesday October 25th I will take two suburbans 12th June for our competing ones an alternate is a girls or boys in broken out between one fresh one freshman five sophomores to Juniors and for seniors and then we'll depart from Monroe at 6:30 a.m. on 9 a.m. will get to the John Deere Pavilion in Illinois and then we have a fairy door at 1:45 and then at 2 or should last about two and a half hours and then we'll arrive at the hotel for the night Wednesday October 26th our food science contest is that day and while the four of us are at the contest the other students will attend workshops and then the career fair and we're hoping that will attend the first General Session that day and then we'll go to a pumpkin patch or corn and then that Thursday we're going to more student workshops. more General Sessions, noon that day has been friends award and then at night activities don't but not quite sure yet we are being friends right now of what stores are going to and then hoping that I will be going to the rodeo kind of depends on if we're going to the concert or the rodeo but I don't think we know I've looked into that too far quite a ticket open next week Saturday we will check out of the hotel room in a row and we will stop at the caterpillar bakkerij and museum in Peoria on the way home Bangkok G 8500 9000 okay so then we wanted to talk about kind of herb is like why do we want to send kids to National Nationals is a growing experience that gives you involved in a type of way after they usually doesn't when you go there you're surrounded by kids from all over the country new kids I have friends from Oklahoma Washington Oregon from last year I still talk to I have kids from Kansas South Dakota just kids I would never meet unless I win you attend numerous workshops so you learn a lot how to weed how to kind of like go out and it also just gets kids bonded with people within the chapter for example tri-polar we were best friends at the time last year and now we I say we don't go a day without talking but a few hours maybe if I have it but so which is a team competing at consist of me really behind Meredith different traveler we all did our own part in this but this my part mine was a lot of the numbers and math calculation so example there's three components to your find competition so there's your project development which is why we had to create a granola bar and so this just talk about like the budgeting you can see a recipe on that one but other two parts one is a food sensory and evaluation so that's like a sense so this was the 10th we had $2,000 donated from a business in Des Moines County roofing they've done a few of the schools my dad works at these were $150 and it's essential oils if we are to buy These Bars. Probably $1,000 or each kit is I do nothing till there's like 30 bucks time thanks for the test and article is gold so we all wanted our own sense to practice with so that was $640 valuation is a star you out to food you have to like three checks she maybe Pringles and one maybe the printer at State and why we got first all these numbers have the valve 48 hours so when we was when we kind of put together but we have a online exam between 9th and Saint Paul Center Procter. So there is an hour-long test for we have to have no general knowledge of practicum and sanitation questions so we have to know how to evaluate for measurements which is part of the math and the general knowledge is just like for example an ingredient I can show you is BHP on maybe something like what does bhg do to food on peach tea is a preservative it's kind of right now it's kind of on the line of whether to accept it or Not by Society because on it is chemically added so some people don't like that but that's just part of what we've done and what we have to do we practice Monday to play Thursday and then we have individual practices at our house or we just used up by ourselves she's part of why we bought the friends we practice at 8:30 or 8 on Mondays and then 7 to 8 Tuesday Wednesday how much time in a week bring home girl how much spell like on one of you can see but like every number is like extremely large and then you get to the HP and it's like 1 lb enough bolts so when we're buying 22000 lb of rolled we only need one point one pound and that will last for 10 years expires like a lot of this in 24 like I play this budget this is Mark budget or Newton is a property we wanted to buy and all these numbers you can see indoor outdoor I know what you call it like handyman but I just talk a lot of like construction noise. Wildlife Brittany and so he helped a lot with the outdoor stuff and the indoor stuff was kind of simple cuz a lot of it you could either order off web restaurant.com or just on Amazon so easy to see the budget B words best of the 2000s. We got right now all we spent is E60 so today I purchased $220 worth of tune for our sensory evaluation so that that's like chips different life drinks and stuff just because we don't know exactly what the century Hollywood she's going to be tray but probably 30-something man-hours into Quizlet so I found every test for the last 10 years conversions all that stuff every single type of written test that we're going to take on me 29th or could take he found past year has the past 10 years and created a quiz for all of them so we all been studying with those and Blake vanderkamp chapter 11 how to set to so we kind of flip flop what we do and he needs help and I haven't heard exactly how much we have in Ark discount but hopefully between the two things we're hoping to do with the money we got from Academy Roofing the 2,000 we're hoping to at least put $500 into the chapter that money that was donated is what fine art supplies now for State we had to start on money I probably spent $400 of my own money to get stuff or send like last time we shared some of the time it's just kind of a difference between the state-level and national-level what's expected of us so we are seeking Board of parole bring home, or p c m Diamond Trail that's kind of been hard we haven't known whether we have still have the chapter card we used to have whether we have the treasure our chapter treasure has access or if it was just left in the Samsung that was just kind of been hard Play Motion second when school board thank you everybody I don't think we have that much and that should have been together Maple School Board treasurer so we are wanting to appoint Robert as the board Treasurer when we did our policies before we could do keep in mind we could have them separate Robert Friday for Treasure all in favor say aye bank account signature cards in the past we just had two people on the bank signature cards we need to update them but we are recommending that we have three pictures on the card there for if we would have a backup person and so I've listed President should be on there and I'm also recommending it Sierra our accounts payable and receivable have her name on there in case there's something that comes up she be our backup bank account signature card 23 people all those in favor say aye baby sale on PGA Merchandise in touch with logo at the Altoona Hy-Vee I was going to come by but I thought about it they give us 50% back name ran out her practice sure why I'm sure what it look like on the back that would be a good question I think given the conversation the other day about a different contract this is exclusive product licensing but still allow their booster club does that mean we don't have any other options after that I mean okay 12 is exclusive product licensing now that's just for I could still go through that was my big thing is I thought they wanted us to take App Store this t-shirt t-shirt looks like better conversation but we're guy with our logo they want for logo self merchandise we different what we want on it and that's what the this is the first step in and doing booster club Claus says it doesn't prevent the school from approved for physical bookstore but the school called approve licenses for products is that so again that's the only reason I was asking a question cuz I think last night I wouldn't know until I see the Mach house I don't think I don't think how long is this agreement for Ernie Davis send me terminated immediately I do buy her friend agreement reducing the limited as far as what else we can do authorized license approval K12 Roofing Products operation retail equation sales at Walgreens and she's all other agreements and I guess to Beyonce so he brought it to me if you guys would want to table it and you better listen question that you specifically want me to ask. No problem going to ask him to bring it back I just like to know it's not a no time crunch find the guide light Highway motion enable Ivy sale description strategic burlap turn the change the core values to vision statement and strategic Direction so this looks very similar to what you saw last Monday except the old has been removed all so you'll see the desired Google to adopt a strategic roadmap updated Mission Vision Values teacher directions and our desire daily. motion to approve world map Second District 16 start raining so this is a continuation of the work we've been doing the last couple years at the high school for professional development for High School staff before you because the clothes is over 10,000 it's actually $16,000 but he can be called Joe Beckman and other professional development money Mega Motors new crew transitional supported by me I'm grasping for approval we completed our hearing Republic earring and the resolutions letter board meeting Ryan you read it Raven motion daru we're going to go in school session pursuant of Iowa Code section 21 points 518 review discuss record which are operated by state or federal are to be kept confidential order Decatur company that government body position and 21.51 need to discuss whether to conduct a hearing or to conduct hearings and we're still a student unless an open session is requested by the student or parent or Guardian has to it if this dude did not have to request in composition I need a ruler stop and all so I might invite you to join us you have to act upon it afterwards so what happened call home again then we're going to go into closed session again I will do a roll call vote Rodney hunt in action numotion change the graphics that I sent it back and were clear and how that works and how it should work so that's exactly the same content just a question about that the 10:10 work session we had agreed that we would talk about what we wanted to do on the work session I have Team Works coming to continue the boards operational plan on the action in support wants to do bored and also proposing an update on the business office and then continuing to you for options today that we had I have not had a chance to look at them set up there was one night like she would be more than willing you could speak I haven't the last thing is I have become convention I'd like to get registered if anybody's interested in going I brought the sure Brooklyn I know you guys have got me the mail at home or should have got none if you didn't let me know morning 8 4:30 learn more about school Finance Aaron's going to attend the board free training Workshop I am class that morning but I might do we go there situated correspondence I want to say thanks to 40% on fire to my father's.
